Integrating Uses
Integrating Uses Summary
• Most residences need to be located within walking distance of shopping, work opportunities, and public buildings and spaces.
• Encourage new buildings to be mixed use, such as residential above commercial, especially at the neighborhood center.
• Apply good design principles so different uses fit together.
• Parking lots do not dominate the landscape; they are subordinate, placed to the side or rear of buildings, and are well-landscaped.
